RAMALLAH, July 17, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists on Thursday stole Palestinians’ property and set up mobile homes in the occupied West Bank governorate of Ramallah, according to eyewitnesses.

They said that Israeli colonists used a forklift to dismantle the steel frame of greenhouses, including steel posts and supports, set up by Palestinian farmers on their land at Ein Samiya, east of the village of Kafr Malik.

They added that another group of colonists set up mobile homes on a tract of land belonging to the villagers of Sinjil, north of the village, to serve as a nucleus of the Givat Haroeh colonial outpost.

Meanwhile, colonists attempted to attack houses on the outskirts of the Jiljilya town, north of Ramallah, but their attack was fended off by Palestinian villagers.

Colonists’ violence against Palestinians and their property is routine in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities.

Colonists’ violence includes property and mosque arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, and attacks on vulnerable homes, among others.

Approximately 1 million Israeli colonists are living in colonies in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in violation of international law.
